[Locus of control and its relationship to quality of life in a sample of adolescents dependent on psychological materials]

Problem: The problem of study to know the locus of control and its relationship to quality of life in a sample of adolescents dependent on psychological materials

Aims: The study aims to achieve several goals can be summarized as following, Test the sign of the differences between adolescents who are dependent on psychological materials and non-dependent ones locus of control

Sample: A sample 200 of adolescents that dependent and non-dependent on psychological materials, were selected from one of hospital, Sample dependent on the psychological material: 100 of adolescent substance- dependent and are chosen from applicants for the treatment of adolescents who are dependent on psychological materials in one of the clinics for the first time, Sample non-dependent: 100 is selected from a teenage high school students and university requires non-dependent ones on any type of drug is determined by the sample that meet the requirement of equivalence

Tools: Interview codified from prepared by the researcher, Locus of control scale [a measure of Rutter translation and legalization of Aladdin Kafafy 1982], and Quality of Life Scale IHO [1996]. Statistical methods: Description of the sample through the averages and standard deviations. Using the equation of differences between the two groups T-test

Results: There are differences between adolescents who are dependent on psychological materials and non-dependent ones locus of control and quality of Life, There is a correlation between locus of control and quality of life in adolescents who are dependent on psychological materials. There is a correlation between locus of control and quality of life in adolescents who are non-dependent on psychological materials

[ effectiveness of a program to develop the skill of problem-solving by using self-management strategy in a sample of kindergarten children]

Aim: The present study aims to develop the skill of problem-solving by using Self-management strategy with a sample of Kindergarten children

Sample: The study sample of 30 boy and girl from [5-6] years enrolled in the second year of kindergarten, and will be divided into two groups an experimental group and control group

Instruments: Scale problem solving skill of the photographer [Prepared by the researcher], Harris Drawing Test [Kerning: Fatma Hanafi, 1983], and A program to develop the skill of problem solving and decision-making using a self-management strategy [The researcher]

Result: There were statistically significant differences between the Sort mean scores of the two groups the control and experimental of kindergarten children on a scale problem solving skill after the application of the program. There were statistically significant differences between the Sort mean scores of the experimental group on the scale of problem- solving in the indices before and after the application of the program. No statistically significant differences between the Sort mean scores of the control members on a scale problem-solving in the indices before and after the application of the program, and No statistically significant differences between the Sort mean scores of the experimental group on the scale of problem-solving in the measurement after the application of the program and the iterative measurement
